This fell into my inbox this morning:
“Congratulations! I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected to receive a 2012 National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) Fellowship.”
:D :D :D :D
Can’t say anything else. Too busy dancing around the room.

Congratulations!
I bet you had no trouble with the “broader impacts” bit — you know, having a widely read blog and being a “community organizer” and all.[/envious]

Curses! I specifically instructed my elected officials to make sure that my precious tax dollars didn’t fall into the clutches of scheming infidels, especially ones who dare to write horrible “dogmatic” atheistic things on their applications.
What is our proud Christian Nation(tm) coming to?

Remember all that stuff about “loser” and faffing around on the internet and going to events and blah blah blah instead of doing it right like *cough cough cough*? Remember all that? Well ha fucking ha. I say HA FUCKING HA.

That’s what we like about Ophelia. She’s so demure when butter isn’t melting in her mouth.

Congratulations again! Some day everybody will know your name & I’ll be telling people “Yeah, I was reading her blog when she was in grad school.”

Congrats, Jen
Having applied for that fellowship twice without success, I know how hard those are to get. Congrats, and enjoy it! You better be buying beer for everyone :)

Congratulations!! My (ancient) memories of applying to NSF. I had applied to grad school at Yale and Johns Hopkins. I had a fairly prompt response from Hopkins; admitted with support. Nothing from Yale. One day I get the note from NSF that I had been awarded a fellowship. Something like two days later, I received a form letter from Yale more or less as follows: “congratulations on your (fill in the blank) fellowship. We are pleased at this time to offer you admission to our graduate program (i.e., would you like to spend your NSF fellowship at Yale?)”. Guess where I went.

An NSF?? Nice!
You must be doing some serious stuff! And also be able to write (research statements) well. Oh, wait… :)

Congratulations indeed. I’m feeling a bit nostalgic today. On Friday I retired from my job as an NSF program officer, but I’m glad to know they’re managing without me :-)
Of course, I have to admit I had nothing to do with the Graduate Research Fellowship Program.
